79. Phil. Trans., 58 (1768): 256. In the Social War (90–88 BC), the Lucanians fought with the Samnites against the Romans, but were defeated.

80. Swinton refers to Segesta in Phil. Trans., 61 (1771): 95: “From what has been here advanced, it in incontestably clear, that SEGESTE or SEGESTA, is a word of Punic origin; which, indeed, has been observed by the famous Bochart. That learned author has sufficiently exploded the fabulous account of Acesta, the pretender founder of Segesta , given us by some of the ancient writers; though for want of the assistance of the Punic coin before me, he could not hit upon the true name the city now in view, at least when the medal I am considering first appeared, went under amongst the Carthaginians”.
